Well that makes much more sense, may I ask what that house rule is?

Really nice video YG, good explanation on why you purchase what you do, i love the positioning of the pacific and how you move it over to the Atlantic.

However you talk of rushing to Paris and I simply must disagree with this. if you liberate France then all of a sudden you lose the minor IC’s you captured in southern and Normandy, if you keep those IC’s for yourself you can just shore up with 9 land units in Europe per turn, much more efficient than if France has to build there, have the Brits keep reinforcing with inf and planes just for defense while perhaps moving on to Holland or N Italy, at this point the Germans should have stopped their Barbarossa push and Russia should slowly be coming at Germs with a large Art/Inf stack, you can then use your 11 trans to get a shipment of 10 inf 10art to take Rome and N Italy if not already done. At this point you would be looking at minor IC’s in Spain, Normandy, S France, N Italy and Rome, 5 total which is 15 land units per turn.  Of course factor in jockeying for these IC’s with Germ, but either way you are good.  Overall just seems more effective than liberating Paris and having the French build 2 men a turn opposed to the 6 you could build on their IC’s.  This also gives you more money for pacific sub/destroyer combos so that you can convoy the Japs and keep them from their 6 cities.

Please correct what I overlooked or forgot of since I am most sure that their will be something, Just my 2 cents :-)

Overall a very good and methodical strategy, hope to use it in my next G40 game as America.

Cheers

Ok I see what y’all are saying… Makes good sense, appreciate it  :-)

Not to get bogged down into detail but I personally do not see how a  50/50 trade for German units is an assumed victory?  I could easily be overlooking something or simply be ignorant, but when i play Germany i love seeing Russia trade with me 50/50…. However I am no pro so I could be way off base, just looking for some explanation.

Thanks in advance :-)

Ok so by the sounds of it YG this is a G40 game with no time limits?

Now, assuming it is then i think this strategy has excellent potential due to the fact attrition most definitely favors US, however if this is a time limited game I’m thinking that maybe US should be playing more mainstream with Carriers and some trans to take back the money isles to prevent Japan from winning off the 125 IPC rule.

Now if its unlimited time i think you could potentially due really well with this by possibly just doing 10subs a turn.  I obviously have not done this myself nor even tinkered with this idea of yours, however if I’m going to be playing this way i need to do it all out.

But how many subs were you thinking of/have tried to do?

Apologies if that does not make sense, I am new to forums… :-D
